EXTENSION OF URBAN SMALL MOTORS EMISSIONS ABATEMENT PROJECT FOR 2024
Burnaby, British Columbia / March 18, 2024 Aether Catalyst Solutions, Inc. ("ATHR" or
the "Company") (CSE: ATHR) (FSE:2QZ) is pleased to announce the extension of the Urban
Small Motors Emissions Abatement Project (USMEAP) with the City of Burnaby for year four.
The third season of field testing with the City of Burnaby wrapped up with NOx conversion
remaining 100% on all units. Usage for several of the mowers was particularly high this season
giving us added insights into durability. Additionally, this year we were able to demonstrate that
Air Injection can enable us to offer a 3-way catalysis solution with one formulation.
For year three, the program continued with the same 6 units equipped with Aether catalysts,
highlights of year three of the USMEAP are as follows:
Technical Highlights
dot 6 active mowers in the test fleet.
dot All units showing 100% NOx reduction.
dot All but one unit is over 200 hours, three are over 300 hours, and one is over 380 hours.
dot Demonstrated that air injection enables us to offer a 3-way catalysis solution with one
formulation.
Program Highlights
dot The program has been renewed for 2024.
dot Current dataset has been helpful in OEM outreach.
dot For the USMEAP, Aether is able to make use of the muffler housing, substituting its catalyst
for existing muffler material; resulting in a plug and play solution with high performance,
requiring minimal engineering, and no loss of sound dampening.
dot Aether and the City of Burnaby will continue the program for the 2024 season.
Taylor Procyk, Chief Operating Officer of Aether comments, "The USMEAP continues to
demonstrate the robust capability of our NOx catalyst. Aether looks forward to continuing to work
with the City of Burnaby to further demonstrate the technology. The results generated so far have
been very useful in discussions with OEMs regarding our emissions abatement capabilities."
